Jokes to Offend Men I Picked Up This Book Because: The title caught my attention Media Type: Audiobook Source: Netgalley Dates Read: 11/17/22 Stars: 3 Narrator(s): Cortney Wright, Rachel Butera These are not really jokes. While some anecdotes are amusing most are enraging observations that just plain suck. However, I also am glad these things are being discussed and hopefully we are on the cusp of change. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A modern, feminist take on the classic joke book to amuse and empower readers who are tired of being the punchline. A man walks into a bar. It's a low one, so he gets a promotion within his first six months on the job. Four comedy writers transform classic joke setups into sharp commentary about the everyday and structural sexism that pervades all facets of life. Jokes to Offend Men arms readers with humorous quips to shut down workplace underminers, condescending uncles, and dismissive doctors, or to share with their exhausted friends at the end of a long day. A cutting, cathartic spin on the old-fashioned joke book, Jokes to Offend Men is a refreshing reclamation of a tired form for anyone who's ever been told to "lighten up, it's just a joke!".

The jokes are broken into categories, so you have similar themes through each section. The unfortunate thing about this is that they start to become somewhat predictable and repetitive. That made them lose their impacts as jokes, though again, in the social commentary side it builds a cohesive overall stance.
If you're looking for actual jokes to tell, you might get a few depending on your style of humor. This is a lot of dry humor, a lot of subverting expectations of traditional joke setups, and similar styles to that. It mostly relies on familiar experiences of women, so I'm honestly not sure men will "get" all of these jokes, or at least not on the painfully relatable way some of them read for me.
Thank you to NetGalley for a free advanced copy. This is my honest review. ( )
